  • Jalabi Practice: a Critical Appraisal of a Socio-Religious Phenomenon in Yorubaland, Nigeria
    ISSN 2411-9563 (Print) European Journal of Social Sciences September-December 2015 ISSN 2312-8429 (Online) Education and Research Volume 2, Issue 4 Jalabi Practice: a Critical Appraisal of a Socio-Religious Phenomenon in Yorubaland, Nigeria Dr. Afiz Oladimeji Musa [email protected] International Islamic University Malaysia Prof. Dr. Hassan Ahmad Ibrahim [email protected] International Islamic University Malaysia Abstract Jalabi is an extant historical phenomenon with strong socio-religious impacts in Yorubaland, south-western part of Nigeria. It is among the preparatory Dawah strategies devised by the Yoruba Ulama following the general mainstream Africa to condition the minds of the indigenous people for the acceptance of Islam. This strategy is reflected in certain socio-religious services rendered to the clients, which include, but not limited to, spiritual consultation and healing, such as petitionary Dua (prayer), divination through sand-cutting, rosary selection, charm-making, and an act of officiating at various religious functions. In view of its historicity, the framework of this research paper revolves around three stages identified to have been aligned with the evolution of Jalabi, viz. Dawah, which marked its initial stage, livelihood into which it had evolved over the course of time, and which, in turn, had predisposed it to the third stage, namely syncretism. Triangulation method will be adopted for qualitative data collection, such as interviews, personal observation, and classified manuscript collections, and will be interpretively and critically analyzed to enhance the veracity of the research findings. The orality of the Yoruba culture has greatly influenced the researcher’s decision to seek data beyond the written words in order to give this long-standing phenomenon its due of study and to help understand the many dimensions it has assumed over time, as well as its both positive and adverse effects on the socio-religious live of the Yoruba people of Nigeria.

  • Analysis of Management Practices in Lagos State Tertiary Institutions Through Total Quality Management Structural Framework
    Journal of Education and Practice www.iiste.org ISSN 2222-1735 (Paper) ISSN 2222-288X (Online) Vol.7, No.8, 2016 Analysis of Management Practices in Lagos State Tertiary Institutions through Total Quality Management Structural Framework Abbas Tunde AbdulAzeez Faculty of Education, Lagos State University Ojo Campus, Ojo, Lagos State, Nigeria Abstract This research investigated total quality management practices and quality teacher education in public tertiary institutions in Lagos State. The study was therefore designed to analyse management practices in Lagos state tertiary institutions through total quality management structural framework. The selected public tertiary institutions in Lagos State were Lagos State University (LASU) Ojo, University of Lagos (UNILAG) Akoka, Michael Otedola College of Primary Education (MOCOPED) Inaforija, Epe, Federal College of Education Technical (FCET)Akoka, and Adeniran Ogunsanya College of Education (AOCOED) Oto-Ijanikin. A descriptive survey research design was adopted. A Total Quality Management practices and Quality Teacher Education Questionnaire (TQMP-QTEQ) was used to obtain data for the study. The structured questionnaire was administered on 905 academic and non-academic staff members and final year students of sampled institutions using purposive sampling technique. The questionnaire was content-validated using expert opinion method and Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin (KMO) statistics of sampling adequacy. In terms of the measure of reliability, the Cronbach’s Alpha values for the two major constructs of the study are satisfactory – quality teacher education (0.838) and TQM (0.879). Their Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin (KMO) statistics of sampling adequacy were equally above the acceptable standard of 0.7. The hypotheses were tested at the 5 percent level of significance.

  • Improving Initiation of Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis Among Key Populations in Akwa Ibom, Cross River, and Lagos States
    Nigeria DATA USE BRIEF Improving Initiation of Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis among Key Populations in Akwa Ibom, Cross River, and Lagos States INTRODUCTION Key populations (KP), such as sex workers and men who have sex with men, have the highest HIV prevalence in Nigeria.1 To reduce the HIV infection rate, Nigeria’s HIV program integrated the use of oral pre-exposure prophylaxis2 (PrEP) as a substantive additional measure to existing services for KP. The USAID-funded KP CARE-1 project, implemented by Heartland Alliance Nigeria, established KP one-stop shops (KP OSS) to provide oral PrEP to KPs in three states—Akwa Ibom, Cross River, and Lagos. Each KP one-stop shop was provided with yearly targets for A staffer at a community one-stop shop for key populations distribution of oral PrEP.

HOW DATA.FI SUPPORTED THE PREP DATA REVIEW AND USE PROCESS Data.FI collated, validated, and analyzed weekly high-frequency report (HFR) data on the PrEP indicator to assess the achievement of FY20 targets against performance. The results of these weekly HFR analyses were disseminated to Heartland Alliance and discussed during Enhanced Site Management (ESM) cluster meetings supported by the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID). During these meetings, Data.FI facilitated discussion among all USAID implementing partners (IPs) to review performance, identify gaps, and institute cause-corrective measures.

The main aim of the study is to critically examine the extent of growth in Eti-Osa over time, and the potential impacts of sea leve rise. Landsat Enhanced Thematic Mapper Plus (ETM+) imageries of years 2000 and 2015 were used to evaluate the different land use type identified. Post-classification change detection method was used to evaluate the output of the maximum likelihood supervised classification analysis done. This was also used to estimate the changes induces through urban development on the environment which accounts for the biodiversity loss. ASTER GDEM 2 imagery of 2011 was used to generate the elevation data used for the inundation analysis. Thus, both Land use map of Eti-Osa in 2015 and the down scaled Sea-level rise scenarios (at 0.5 to 15 meters) were used for the inundation mapping. Results obtained from this research affirms that indeed Eti- Osa has been subjected to gross urban expansion giving room for diverse forms of environmental degradation among which are huge replacement of natural land cover with built-up, reclamation of wetlands and sand filling of water bodies.

  • Diatoms and Dinoflagellates of an Estuarine Creek in Lagos
    JournalSci. Res. Dev., 2005/2006, Vol. 10,73‐82 Diatoms and Dinoflagellates of an Estuarine Creek in Lagos. I.C. Onyema*, D.I. Nwankwo and T. Oduleye Department of Marine Sciences, University of Lagos, Akoka‐Yaba, Lagos, Nigeria. ABSTRACT The diatoms and dinoflagellates phytoplankton of an estuarine creek in Lagos was investigated at two stations between July and December, 2004. A total of 37 species centric diatom (18 species) pennate diatoms (12 species) and 7 species of dinoflagellates were recorded. Values of species diversity (1 ‐ 14), abundance (10 ‐ 800 individuals), species richness (0 ‐ 2.40) and Shannon and Weiner index (0 ‐ 2.8f) were higher in the wet period (July ‐ October) than the dry season (November ‐ December). These bio‐indices were higher in station A than Bfor most of the study period. Almost all the diatoms and dinoflagellates recorded for this investigation have been reported by earlier workers for the Lagos lagoon, associated tidal creeks and offshore Lagos. The source of recruitment of the lagoonal dinoflagellates is probably the adjacent sea as most reported species were warm water oceanic forms. Keywords: diatoms, dinoflagellates, plankton, hydrology, salinity. INTRODUCTION In Nigeria there are few studies on the diatoms and dinoflagellates of marine and coastal aquatic ecosystems. Some of these studies are Olaniyan (1957), Nwankwo (1990a), Nwankwo and Kasumu‐Iginla (1997), Nwankwo (1991) and Nwankwo (1997). Other works such as Chindah and Pudo (1991), Nwankwo (1986, 1996), Chindah (1998), Kadiri (1999), Onyema et al. (2003, 2007), Onyema (2007, 2008) have investigated phytoplankton assemblages and pointed out the dominance of diatoms. Diatoms and dinoflagellates are important components of the photosynthetic organisms that form the base of the aquatic food chain (Davis, 1955; Sverdrop et al., 2003).
